Here are the top 5 bollywood movies on wrestling, boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years bollywood has started to accept these kinds of fighting sport, below are few of them.
1. Dangal (2016)
(Buy the DVD now)
Story: When Mahavir Singh Phogat (played by Aamir Khan), a former Olympic freestyle wrestler from Haryana, lost all hope of having a son after his wife delivered 4 daughters. He then started to train his daughters Geeta (played by Fatima Sana Shaikh) and Babita (played by Sanya Malhotra) to win gold medal for India in Olympics.
This film shows the real struggle which a father has to face to fight against the Indian society and culture in a sport which was dominated by men.
Why should you watch: It's a must watch as you can see the transformation of Aamir Khan as he played both the character of Mr. Phogat when he was young and old. Khan has gained a huge amount of weight first and then went on a body transformation where in he was on ketos diet (a diet high in proteins and facts) for the role. The girls in this film went on a one year training for this role and you can see the in the final match where Fatima pulled a smooth and clean suplex finisher in the end.

The story kicks in when pride and the death of his unborn child makes him a lonely person and later his wife leaves him. He then goes out to put his life back together to become a MMA cage fighter for a tournament to earn respect.
Why should you watch: A real life story, by far this is Salman Khan's one of the best performance ever. The training, hard work and the body transformation is something to talk about. It is a real life story of a former Indian Olympic freestyle wrestler, the story is well justified and it's a must watch.

Even though this film is a remake you should it as this is the very first MMA film in India. this film had a lot of mix response as India was not open to an MMA sport then. The training and the fights were well choreographed and well portrayed.
